Travel

The Congress takes place at the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH) near the centre of Hamburg - right next to train station Dammtor - a busy place with some shops and an intersection of buses, s-bahns, and a station for distance trains.

Hamburg's second tallest landmark, the Radisson Blu Hotel right beside the venue, making it an easy place to find from most of Hamburg. There is also a botanical garden called "Planten un Bloomen".

If you are new to Hamburg, you should get a city map and a map of the local train system. You can get maps of s+u-bahns, underground and metro buses at many HVV shops for free, and city maps are available for a few euros.

Dammtor station

The Dammtor train station can be reached by regional and distance trains, buses, and S-Bahn.

Arrival by local transport

The CCH Congress Center Hamburg is very near Dammtor station, that is S-Bahn (S11/S21/S31) and DB-Train. Leave the train station at exit to direction CCH and turn right, go 100m, then climb the stairs to the left, turn right again and go another 30 meter. Then you should be standing in front of the CCH.

There is also an other U-Bahn station really close, it is called Stephansplatz (U1). That can be listed as "Dammtor/CCH" as well.

Arrival by plane

Airport Hamburg (HAM)

If you arrive at the Hamburg Airport take the light rail S1 to U/S Ohlsdorf (one Station) and then take the Subway U1 to Stephansplatz. Exit the station against driving direction and you will find yourself on a bridge in front of the Central Station Dammtor. Its a 3min walk from where you are (see area map for details).
